  1.  @JohannLudwigEdel  Did you watch the video? He's out in the middle of nowhere... and he said he had to pay to put in a road. His "arcade" was just a old building, dirt floors, mud brick walls, and overgrown plants everywhere. It's an arcade... not a tourist trap. He also stated he needed customers every day to break even. Arcades need a lot of kids with disposable income to make it work... or if it's an "adult" arcade, they need to serve food, have a full bar, and large screen TVs everywhere.

  2. Very senior level managers are only let go for lack of leadership... very bad decision making... or failed projects & poor strategic vision. It is rare that a factory incursion, even the loss of thousands of wafers could be blamed on senior managers, as they do not actually operate the equipment. However, if they tried to hide the losses, or did not give it enough proper urgency to fix, or they put in lax standards which created an environment which created such losses, those could be reasons as fireable offense(s).

  3.  @kojinmaster  She's still old, broke, and crying. If someone is broke, they make your own food to save money... or if they have to, they can go to the store and buy cooked food, vs having it delivered (which costs more/waste of money).

  4. Here is a little discussed secret.... you don't get, or stay, rich by giving your money away.

  5. No, if you can't find a job... it is ABSOULTELY your fault. It's either lack of skills, experience, or ability to contribute. If someone is working, that means they have more value to the company than you. Don't blame the economy... take responsibility. I can say whoever quit their job is beyond stupid, and most likely an idiot, and shouldn't get hired again. If they hate their job (which I have at some point in my life also)... they should be looking for a new job while working, vs being unemployed. Being unemployed has a stink of being worthless, since no one is willing to hire you (or they fired you because you don't provide value or a problem employee)... if you are employed, and looking for a job, another company can say... well, if some other company finds value in them, maybe they can be of value here.

  6. I posit that poor mental health is directly related to how much social media and phone time a child or adult uses. The more social media time... the worse off their mental health. Why? Because in the old days, there were cartoons that set unrealistic expectations... however, now, it's social media that is setting those unrealistic expectations. Therefore, it's no longer obvious to a person what's fake, and what real... but the reality, it's almost all fake on social media.

  7. The problem is that "high quality" men choose young women who are nice. These are not qualities an older woman can never offer (once you get old, you are old). A successful man does not need (or even want) a successful woman. So therefore, a successful older woman is not what a successful man is looking for, or even wants. So these women are trying to look for someone who does not exist.

  8. Bottom line, it's a demand problem. Capacity was overbuilt, and when demand softened... they had to lower prices to just above cash costs to move product. Until demand picks up, they are screwed... since the battery factories are already built.

  9. I don't see a car having 5,000 pieces of silicon... ever.

  10. For the crying college postgraduate girl... you would get a bit more sympathy if you were just crying... but you lose most of it because you are eating a block of cheese bigger than your head. I'm pretty sure that's one of the big reasons why you are unemployed... you have clueless about optics, and positioning. Did you bring that giant block of cheese and eating it while answering interview questions also?

  11.  @sbalogh53  You can give her double sympathy, so I don't have to give mine. Crying about spilled milk isn't going to fix the future... and complaining about ordering delivery (not even take out/take away... where you can save on the delivery fee), and then complaining about having to order the cheaper items on the menu is beyond out of touch with reality. There are literally tens of thousands of homeless and elderly laborers who don't complain... who are barely surviving, and she complains about the high cost of having food delivered to her home.

  12.  @diedampfbrasse98  Really? In a city of millions, there are zero jobs available? Also, even if unemployment is 30%... that still means 70% of the people are employed. There's always people moving, quitting for whatever reason, dying, retiring, etc. It doesn't take a genius to tell if someone is lazy or trying hard. Not saying it's easy... but not looking for a job will guarantee you'll never find one.

  13.  @Toactwithoutthinking  Conflicts with AKs is much different with armor, jets, and drones. That's also more providing "protection" for their workers, not a national conflict. There is a reason why the movie Wolf Warrior is popular in China.

  14. Degree in film... quit their job and now unemployed. Based on your comments, you are lazy. Best to hurry up and go back to the village, and find a husband to take care of you before you get too old, and then things will really be bad for you (where you have to get a husband 20 years older than you, since young men who can support a woman will be looking for someone much younger, in their early 20's).

  15. I think it depends seating of the table. If the restaurant is empty, then why not let two people sit at a four seat table? Also, how much are they buying? I often go with my brother, and we order enough food for three or four or more people. A two chair table will not have enough room for all the food.

  17. Com'on... no one buys a 20 year old German car with problems. Only someone who wants to go bankrupt would buy a car like that.

  18. LOL... there are no ugly women. ROTFL.... there are a lot of ugly women... some are ugly on the outside, but most of them are ugly in the inside..

  19. It's always going to be hard for people who are lazy, uneducated, and vocal to find a job. That said, those who are smart, hard working, and create value can always find a job. Just being alive is not creating value... no matter what social media tells you. The reality is that your pay is what other's value your contributions... so if you can't find a job, or only get a job with low pay, then they need to dig down and understand why someone is willing to pay you so little, or none at all.

  20.  @28naveenator27van  Do you even know how to write? How can there be millions of hard working people if they have no jobs?!?! By your own admission, they aren't working.

  22. This is like wearing a swastika in Israel, or Confederate flag in a NCAAP meeting. If someone wants to be ignorant about history, then they get what they deserve.

  23. An accomplished man want's a younger woman.... so unless you have a time machine, you have missed your window to find a guy.

  24. Rich men wan young, pretty, and nice. Rich women want richer men, taller, huge dowry, and likely very very demanding. Someone who is so "smart" and doesn't realize the market value as single person and looking for many many years... they are clearly not on the same level. A rich man wants a younger woman, and who is nice. Rich educated women are demanding... they are already demanding such high criteria, and it will only become more demanding in a relationship,.

  25. Living alone with 10 cats is the dream these feminists want? Feminists only trick the younger generation into the misery they are in today.

  26. Studying fashion... but doesn't support poor people having kids. Umm.... she must be a dyed blonde... if there are no kids, who's going to buy her lame fashions? She may think she'll have a good 50 years... but in reality, it's prob only 10 years of happy, and 60 years of misery.

  27. I thought all those low cost food stalls used gutter oil, plastic/fake foods (plastic, rat meat), and full of chemicals (to cover up spoiled rotting meats). Buying 1 Yuan food sticks essentially gambling with your health.

  28. That reporter is either brave, crazy, or stupid... maybe all three. I would never stand on a damn with such a huge crack on it... if there was an aftershock and the dam collapses, you'll be dead. There is zero chance anyone could outrun or survive a dam collapse.

  29.  @alisonzunguze8183  First and foremost, it's youth as in young age. It's not something you can buy, hide, or stop. The other areas you mention are just byproducts of aging... loss of looks and fertility. No matter what... there's is no replacement for a woman who is in their early 20's.

  30.  @alisonzunguze8183  They have value as a person.... but very low, value to a high value man as a wife material. A high value man will have money, looks, and intelligence... they don't need someone with money, career, or too old to have children. They want someone who is nice, pretty, and young enough to have children, and willing to take care of their children vs wanting going to work.

  31. You can ask for that... but with a face like a horse, and a personality as appealing like two week old fish, it's very unlikely you'll find a simp that meets that requirements, thank goodness.

  32. If someone looks for white swan events (extremely rare positive events), a fair lottery can provide such an event. While low income people tend to play lotteries most often... but the alternative is where else can someone spend $1 or $2 and win $100,000,000 USD? While the odds are against someone from winning.... but someone does win with a massive upside result. Is it worth playing a ticket or two... yes. Is it worth spending $100 or more a week... no. In addition, I would say, only play the lottery (legal, fair) when it's a life changing result. Playing a $2 lottery for $1,000 is stupid... however, playing for $100,000,000+ opportunity, IMO could be worth it if someone has $2 to spare (lose).

  33. Yes, I would also avoid buying frozen foods from a random person at a highway stop.

  34.  @quincyjones5676  A rich man doesn't need a woman's money, they have their own. What they value is someone young in their 20's, and few sex partners.

  35. A lawyer's opinion can say anything they want... but that doesn't mean you can't get arrested, fined, or thrown in jail.

  36. The fact is, the more educated the child or teen, the better off they'll be in life. Feelings will not fill your tummy, put a roof over your head, or keep you warm in winter. And yes, in real life, it's mostly winner takes all... there will be some winners... and a lot of losers. And once you are a loser, it's very very very hard to get out of that... because there is someone always smarter, younger, and more talented. So the choice is to start with feelings, or start with getting the best education?

  37. Many many years ago, i watched how a lottery worked in a state in the US. There would be lottery employees who did the work, but there were two auditor who watched them perform the work. It appeared to be a secure process. I think there were six cases of ping pong balls... and someone who was auditing would randomly pick case to use that night. All sets of the ping pong balls were weighed in the morning,in each case. These were all different companies and people. Also, if a set of balls would draw a same number three times in a row (three draws), that set would get a deeper inspection.

  38. People may blame the government all they want... but the final reason the situation they are in is due to their own decisions. It's not like there is 90% unemployment... most people are still working, and living. For students, the two years before graduating... did they do internships to get work experience and connections... or did they go on vacations and spend endless hours on their smartphone? For someone older who is 35yo+... how much savings do they have? Outside of a mortgage, how much debt did they incur for a car, dining out/take-away, vacations, and needless products? Also, for both, did you get an education that is in demand like engineering, bio science? For the adult man, why didn't you do research on the company you are joining... if they are about to fail within three months, the warning signs must be obvious.

  39. If the matchmaker wants more men... screen the women for the following... 1) no bride price; 2) they have to work and make at least 10,000 yuan a month; 3) they are willing to take a GPA, 4) first date cannot cost more than 1,000 in total (for both people), and 5) they are not on social media. If they have women that meets these criteria... I'm sure there are many many men who will sign up with you.

  40.  @tukahimata1416  This was a young guy, so prob not a roadside job, but looking for an office job. That said, even if it's a roadside job, then he could prob check if restaurants need a dishwasher, busser, or convenience store clerk. From what I can tell, a lot of these young people don't want to take jobs that they don't like or is hard work (manual labor). Even in America, the best time to look for a job is when you have a job... any job. Employers will look at you differently if you are employed and looking to do better... vs unemployed, and handing out 1,000 generic carbon copy resumes.

  41. I don't know how car sales are done in PRC... but in the USA, no one pays sticker (list) price for any car today. Often, the sticker price is inflated quite a bit, and the actual sales price could be -10% or more than sticker price, and then there could be manufacturer discounts or rebates. It's not uncommon to find new Stellantis trucks sell for -20% or more from sticker price. In addition, auto companies do not lower new model year pricing, but what they do is introduce a lower end model or trim that is cheaper (less features, smaller, etc). Can someone with direct knowledge comment did BYD actually reduce the price of the exact same model/trim/features for the next model year?

  43. As China forces companies and gov't entities to buy Chinese technologies only, it's no surprise that multi-national companies scale their business in China accordingly.

  49. There are zero secrets if there is a major attack or invasasion. Why? It's the logistics needed to supply tens of thousands of troops, along with stockpiling of medical supplies, and doctors. That's why Russia's invasion of Ukraine was well known, because they had to amass huge number of troop, arms, and supplies. For any invasion of TW, it would require a high concentration of both planes, rockets, pilots, and above all else, fuel and spare parts. Given these things are easily tracked, any invasion should not be a surprise.

  50.  @icobanla  You have to watch many of his videos? He often starts off as being nice, and somewhat fun... but after a while, you notice that he has a huge ego, and a jerk to people who work at the airport. He thinks the airport panio is his property, and his cheap fingers are a gift from god. He's a jerk.
